He's Coming Back to Take us Home!

John 14:3
When Sir Winston Churchill was making his funeral preparations he had a few special requests. He asked to be laid in state in the heart of London at St. Paul's Cathedral.
He requested that his casket be placed under the massive dome in the center. Churchill then requested that two trumpeters be stationed on each side of the balcony that circles the dome. It was his wish that at the close of the service the trumpeter on one side play taps. But when he was finished he wanted the other trumpeter to play reveille.
Churchill knew that death was not the end but really the beginning of something wonderful and unimaginable.

But who is He? - Because the value of any promise depends upon the person who makes it.
Jesus is The Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
Jesus is the Son of David, the Son of Man, and the Son of God.
Jesus is the light of the ...
